It's an ordinary circulation coin. These coins are minted in non-precious copper-nickel clad copper. Value-wise, modern coins all carry very low values. At current exchange rates 1 krona Sweden is about 14 US cents. A collector might pay up to $1 to add an uncirculated specimen to his or her collection.
